I'm a vodka martini girl. I understand that that's not maybe the most traditional of martinis,

but I wouldn't call myself the most traditional of girls.

There are certain people you meet who you just click with. My next guest is one of those people.

We first met a few years ago, not in a bar or in a group dinner, but online.

As a freelance writer, I got to know her without actually knowing her.

But after sifting through thousands upon thousands of words she'd written,

and then a few phone calls after. I soon realized that she was no longer just an anonymous

internet writer, but a friend. Introducing Victoria.

All right, Victoria. Hi. How did we meet?

We met. Well, how did we meet on the internet? Yeah.

I had to beg you to publish my content online. You didn't have to beg.

I did. I don't think you did. I think I sent like four to five emails before you reached out.

So how did you even decide that you wanted to start writing online?

Sure. Because that's a step that a lot of people take.

And I always wonder what is inside of them that says, okay, I want to start writing online and put

myself out there. Well, I started writing, I think, for PGP when I was

21, which is crazy. Because I just turned 24. And it's also crazy because based on your writing

and based on your general tone and demeanor and everything I know about you now,

you put out a much more older and mature vibe than someone who was 21 at the time.

Thank you. I was like, oh, she's more mature at 21 than I am at 31.

Well, no, honestly, I started writing because I had just graduated college.

I took my job a month after graduation. So I had no time to enjoy post-grad life without a job.
